The activity hall of more than 100 square meters has clean white tiled floors, white fluorescent lights and white walls. The content of the hall accommodates about 100 people, including old and young, men and women. Some are walking around casually, some are chatting with each other, and some are munching on something similar to beef jerky in their mouths.

He was in a corner, facing a window that was fenced off by iron bars, and the blue sky was like a wash. He was, as the nurse had said, very well-behaved at this time, standing firmly.

This time, I looked at him from behind and felt that he was an ordinary normal person. It's just that the back of his head is bare, and there are many folds caused by skin grafting, which makes her spontaneously make up for his unrecognizable face. After all, the previous impression was too impressive.

His height is about 1.78 meters, his body is thin, and he looks a little empty under the white hospital gown.

Holding a paintbrush in his hand, he draws very seriously on the drawing board.

Well, it's very serious, and from his posture and pen, it completely shows his prudence, as if he was conceiving a masterpiece.

However, what is drawn out ...... Patches of twisted thick black lines, like pure graffiti, vaguely seem to form some kind of outline.

However, it has been heard that the graffiti of the mentally ill can often give feedback to their inner subconscious. Of course, this needs to be interpreted by a professional doctor. Anyway, Ruan Shu couldn't understand his abstract paintings.

There are other questions to be curious about.

"How old is he?" Ruan Shu asked the nurse. Because his skin burned so badly that she couldn't tell.

The nurse pondered and told, "The doctor estimated that he was between twenty and twenty-five years old based on the age of his teeth. ”

So young? Ruan Shu was surprised.

In fact, she still cares a lot about what happened last time.

But on the other hand, the fact is that in her life and around her, there is indeed no one who can match the number.

If memory serves, Ma Yi said that the police are investigating the missing person, but there is no result.

This is also too strange, where has someone been missing for more than half a year, and no relatives and friends have come to look for them?

What Ruan Shu can think of for the time being may be that he lives alone in Haicheng and has a withdrawn personality and does not have contact with outsiders.

When he came back to his thoughts, he saw that his drawing board was accidentally overturned by two other female patients who were playing next to him.

His hand, which was about to put down his pen, remained motionless in mid-air, and did not explode in anger, but turned his face slightly to look at the other two female patients.

Ruan Shu realized that he was wearing more glasses than before.

The two female patients couldn't argue about the question of who was more beautiful, and it happened to be him to judge.

I saw that female patient A twisted her body into an S shape, crossed her waist with one hand, and supported her face with the other to make a flower-like shape, and said, "Let me sleep tonight." ”

"Slut! Robbing the emperor with me again? Not to be outdone, Female Patient B pouted her farts and strands, and raised her chest forward, saying, "It's my turn to sleep tonight." ”

Ruan Shu: "......"

At this time, another male patient who was originally playing chess came over and put on a posture: "Who dares to pretend to be me?" ”

Ruan Shu recognized that this male patient was the same one who was clamoring to go out to the lawn to let off steam, and was finally sent away easily.

The nurses had long been accustomed to it, and calmly went over to help the drawing board up, and a nurse said to the male patient: "Your Majesty, you should go to court." ”

The male patient remembered his game and hurried back to the chessboard.

Another nurse said to the female patient, "It's time for the ladies to sleep in the afternoon." ”

The two female patients immediately put away their graceful postures, yawned and said, "This palace is lacking." ”

The nurses were then led back to their respective wards.

Ruan Shu was really in a happy mood, daring to feel that this was not a mental hospital, but a palace.

When he turned his eyes back, he found that his disfigured face was dangling in front of the glass.

Unconsciously, it's clear that the drawing board is a long distance away from here, when did he give it over?

Ruan Shu reflexively took a step back.

He didn't do anything, just stood quietly, his eyes falling on hers.

That look, although mixed with a hint of sluggishness, looked at her like looking at someone she knew.

Ruan Shu froze his body and found that after staring for a long time, he was probably used to it, so he felt that his face was not as terrifying as when he first saw him.

And his eyes ...... Especially when you wear glasses......

Ruan Shu frowned, and looked at him without blinking, the more she looked, the more familiar it became, she couldn't help but walk back to the glass window, leaning closer to him.

The other patients in the activity room had been taken back to their rooms one after another to arrange for a nap, and the nurse in charge of taking care of him also came to him at this time to take him away.

He didn't make any more noise like last time, he was very cooperative, but before leaving the glass window, his two hands suddenly raised, each with his thumb and index finger extended, and made a gesture to take a picture at her, and one of his eyes narrowed out, similar to the focusing behavior when using a DSLR camera, and finally imitated the "click" of the shutter in his mouth.

Ruan Shu was stunned - ...... taking pictures? Photography......?

Could it be that this person was a photographer before? But there was no photographer among the people she knew......

When I came back to my senses, there were no more patients in the activity room, and the nurses were left tidying up the tables, chairs and facilities.

Ruan Shu was curious and followed to the ward area.

The nurses did not stop her, but the road was a little bumpy, with twists and turns through the closed doors, and the geographical situation was somewhat complicated, supposedly to prevent the patient from escaping.

The specifications of the wards are not the same, there are one-person, two-person, three-person rooms, only the single room has a private bathroom, TV, just like the configuration of an ordinary hotel. The size of the ward that patients can live in is naturally linked to the cost of their families to the hospital. Patients who are not supervised by relatives are admitted to an admission ward.

In addition to the specifications, there are many wards according to gender, type of disease, and severity of illness. In addition, there is an area that is specially separated by a heavy iron gate.

But that's not something that ordinary people can manage.

Although the staff asked Ruan Shu to come with them, they did not allow Ruan Shu to visit the ward because it would disturb the patients.

Even so, Ruan Shu walked all the way down the aisle, hearing patients singing non-stop, manic patients chattering endlessly, and patients who did not cooperate with taking medicine and causing riots.

I also ran into a pile of hospital gowns. It is the patient who will pile the clothes off in one place and change into a new hospital gown. The hospital gown that was changed out was taken away by the laundry man and washed.

Ruan Shu didn't stay too long, after all, it was already a special case to let her in.

Returning from the ward area to the activity hall, Ma Yi had already finished his business.

"Sorry, you've been waiting a long time?" Ruan Shu took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.

"Just over." Ma Yi glanced in the direction she came from, and walked downstairs with her while asking, "What did you gain today?" ”

"It's a good place, and it's nice to have a chance to live in."

The "good" is not only the environment and facilities, but more importantly, all the staff, including doctors, nurses, and nursing staff, are very gentle and patient with their patients.

Ma Yiyan rolled his eyes a little when he heard this.

Ruan Shu pursed his lips and smiled-yes, who would want to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital by himself? She mentioned it casually.

Ma Yi was silent for a few seconds and said softly: "It's very good here." But this is not the only mental hospital in the world. ”

Ruan Shu heard the implication, what he actually wanted to say was that not all mental hospitals have a harmonious and quiet environment like here, and not all mentally ill patients can be well cared for like the patients here.

Of course, at the same time, she also smelled that his ideological consciousness seemed to be very high, and he had some noble ideals in his heart.

Ma Yi lifted his glasses: "The government of Haicheng has done a good job in this regard, if you change to a second- or third-tier city, the mental hospital is just another form of prison." ”

Ruan Shu thought about it when he heard this, and bent his lips slightly: "The government is one thing, and many times it also relies on corporate charity. In the past, the Lin family set aside a large amount of money every year for social welfare and welfare. I am now preparing a new company, and when I am on the right track, I will set up a special charity fund for your patients. ”

She is a small family, she can't be like some big groups, and she can only do what she can do, so she won't exaggerate too much Haikou in advance.

However, I found that there were application channels for volunteers and volunteers, and then I thought that since she was going to open a company, she would definitely not be available for a long time, so she simply gave up. What's more, she is really not a master who can take care of people, and she still doesn't come to cause chaos for others.

"Your new company or your original positioning?" Ma Yi asked at this time.

"Hmm." Ruan Shu nodded and calmly communicated with him, "I have been making health care products for so many years, and it is difficult to change industries easily, and I don't want to change industries." Most of all, I like it myself. ”

"It's tiring to start your own company." Ma Yi is concerned about this.

"Were you tired when you were preparing the studio?" Ruan Shu asked rhetorically.

Ma Yi didn't know if she was stopped by her and didn't respond.

Ruan Shu smiled: "Whether you are tired or fulfilling, it depends on your personal mentality." I've always felt that when you're busy, your happiness will increase, because you won't have so much boring time to think about what you don't have. ”

"Besides," she curled her lips slightly mockingly, "I'm quite embarrassed, and if I want to continue in this business, if I don't start my own company, there really is no other better choice." ”

Ma Yi glanced at her, and his gaze behind the lenses flashed with an unclear meaning.

Ruan Shu took the opportunity to talk about last night's incident: "I seriously reconsidered it later, and I think it is more appropriate to find a partner who has both equity funds and technical support." ”

"Hmm." Ma Yi didn't have much opinion on this, "If you have any questions within my professional scope, you can come and ask me." ”

Ruan Shuna squinted at him: "You are a friend enough." ”

Ma Yike answered: "The consultation fee is still charged." ”

Ruan Shu: "......" she wanted to retract the last sentence......

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing, I don't know if it's convenient for you to help." She suddenly remembered.

"What?"

"It's the disfigured man."

"Him?" Ma Yi frowned.

"Hmm." Ruan Shu pondered, "I saw him again in the event hall." I couldn't figure out why, but I was pretty sure that the person seemed to know me. Or maybe there's something in me that he's familiar with. ”

"So?"

"I'm not comfortable with this, I want to see if I can find clues about his identity. So ask you, do you have any information he can provide at the moment? Ruan Shu pondered, tried his best to think of it, and enumerated it and asked, "For example, when he was sent to the hospital, he was wearing clothes, or did he really have no clothes on his body or on him?" Necklaces and bracelets can be worn. ”

Or did the hospital find anything out of his usual words and deeds in the past six months? It's all right. She remembered mentioning the last time she mentioned that the police had placed the disfigured man here, hoping to make him think of something through treatment.

Ma Yi looked at her with an expression that further recognized her: "You are quite thoughtful. ”

Ruan Shuwu took this as his compliment, and accepted it unceremoniously: "Thank you." ”

"I'm not complimenting you." Ma Yi didn't give her face again, and returned to the topic, "I'll give it to you after I finish the information." ”

Ruan Shu didn't expect it to be true, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Just you agreed?" Why don't you ask the dean what he means? ”

After all, it's about the patient's privacy.

And—

"What about the police? It sounds like you're in charge. She questioned deeply.

Ma Yi lifted his glasses, his eyes seemed to say, "You stupid humans", and then explained: "I am in charge of this patient." His complete medical records and treatment records are all with me. ”

Immediately, he added: "In order to facilitate my treatment, including the information about him from the police, I also have information." ”

"Why does it sound like the hospital and the police trust you so much?" Ruan Shu was skeptical.

Ma Yi glanced at her and wrote lightly: "I only occasionally give the police some professional advice on psychological and spiritual matters. ”

Ruan Shu knew that he didn't show off anymore, but she just inexplicably heard a natural boom from between the lines of his words. She couldn't help but look strange when she looked at him: "Ma Yi, I find more and more that I know too little about you. ”

What kind of friend did she make...... It's like a hidden folk master.

"That's enough for now." Ma Yi responded, his attitude was not very concerned, and his expression was always iceberg.

Ruan Shu smiled faintly - well, a very "horse-like" reply.

……

The two returned to the studio, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard the front desk say to her: "Miss Ruan, someone has come to look for you, and you are in the reception room now." ”

"Looking for me?" Ruan Shu was slightly puzzled - didn't you come to the psychological counseling room to find her?

"Yes, Miss Ruan, you're not Dr. Ma's patient. Not long after you left with Dr. Ma at noon, people came and had been waiting for you for hours. ”

"Man or woman?" Ruan Shuhu was suspicious, and walked towards the reception room between questions.

"Man." An answer came from the front desk.

Man......? Ruan Shu didn't ask more, knocked on the door of the reception room twice, reminded the people inside that he was about to enter, and then pushed the door open.

The familiar figure on the sofa caught her eye, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
